Back to tariffs.

[MeganC]

Yup. Bring it on!!!!

[Army Air Corps]

Tariffs, then.

[dp0622]

too much bluffing.

Put the ####ing tariffs at 25 percent TODAY UNTIL any deal starts to show results.

We’ve become like a loan shark who has no leg breakers working for him.

“You better pay up or elthe!!!”

“Nekth week for thure you better pay!!”

[mewzilla]

I thought Mexico’s FinMin was referring to a section on agriculture, not the whole deal....

[McGavin999]

Right, if we don’t have a deal then start the tarrifs.

[House Atreides]

The Mexicans are CLEARLY learning from the Chinese. “Promise them anything...but deliver NOTHING”.

After obtaining biometric (including DNA profiles) and other relevant data, send ALL NEW Asylum seekers immediately back to Mexico to wait. If Mexico doesn’t accept them...GAME ON. IMMEDIATELY implement 5% tariffs and start the countdown to escalation of those tariffs.

[gr8eman]

Yahoo...seriously! Fakest of the Fake news!

[laplata]

I thought the tariffs were going on until it was shown that the Mexicans were serious and doing what they said they were going to do. I guess not.

[BeauBo]

This is super hard for the Mexican President (AMLO) to have to sell back home. It is the exact opposite of what he ran on, and has long espoused as a major issue (a fundamental human right to migrate into the USA).

It would be like President Trump agreeing to demolish all border barriers and checks at Ports of Entry - the opposite of what his base wants.

It may be that they hope to simply never admit to it in the Mexican media - a Democrat-style big lie.

[Shadow44]

Mexico doesn’t want a Third Country agreement on asylum. The Mexican media has been demonizing Yanquis and the politicians say they will never do it to spite El Norte.

What they want is an unofficial agreement at best that will be disregarded and considered null and void as soon as Trump leaves the White House.

If Trump was really serious he would direct the Treasury to start taxing remittances, which he can do unilaterally.

[Brilliant]

Everyone wants you to think they won the negotiations.

[rrrod]

Mexican trying to act as an equal...Trump should counter his statement with tariffs. Then the mexican worm will slither around and agree...

[EQAndyBuzz]

Wait. Didn’t CNN say this was completed months ago?

Who’s lying? CNN or the foreign minister of Mexico?

Have it your way.

[philetus]

Trump says there is a deal. We know about it. The article is saying "The Mexican foreign minister says no s͟e͟c͟r͟e͟t͟ immigration deal exists."

[tcrlaf]

10% tariffs starting tomorrow then...

[bert]

Yep..... no action Mexico will get beat up.

Trump can destroy the economy by the simple act of forcing customs inspections of every truck, van car, suitcase and backpack crossing the border. Post flight customs will take a half day per passenger.
